Ashley Madison Affiliate Scam

When you see a post like this, it makes you wonder who the scam is about?

Are other affiliates somehow getting scammed by other affiliates or by Ashley Madison themselves? Or is Ashley Madison scamming its own affiliates? Or is there some weird third party trying to lure in unsuspecting affiliates of Ashley Madison?

Well in this case we have discovered affiliates of Ashley Madison who are scamming the company – by using typo domains to skim traffic from unsuspecting innocent customers that are trying to typo in the Ashley Madison brand into their address bar in their browser.

What these typo domain affiliates do, is they sign up as affiliates of the merchant. Then they buy typo domains and using a special technique they make commissions off the back of the brand’s affiliate program.
